Vintage Spools of Cotton Crochet Thread

I love perfect vintage finds, especially when there are multiples. It's like an instant collection and even though you may not have a story to tell about each piece you find, you do get to instantly appreciate your new found collection.

My recent find was these vintage spools of silky cotton crochet thread. And when I say silky, I mean silky. Perfectly preserved wood spools and barely scuffed paper labels with vintage lettering. My guess is these are probably from 1960. I decided to take a handful of these lovely little spools and put them on my etsy page for sale. If you love sewing you will love these cool spools. Special hint; these are an easy find at most flea markets. However, make sure you pay close attention and make sure you don't pick any pcs that have rotting. If possible, unwind the spool slightly to check for rotted thread or spool. The ones on my page don't have any of the signs of rotting, which means they were kept in a cool dry place for the past 50 years. You will typically pay a little more for good quality vintage spools, but to be honest the high price is typically very low for a vintage collectible item.
